Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm 0.1
 

when i discovered you could flip the phone to snooze it i was late for work every day that week, its just way too easy, this on the other hand seems a little too hard (or evil even! ;) ) i dont mind when i forget to de-activate my alarm on the odd day off, cos when it wakes me up at 5am i get great joy knowing i can turn it off and go straight back to sleep. this will kill that joy completely! does anyone have an "avoid cheating" method for a removed battery? :)

I can almost picture myself rolling over and typing 'killall evilalarm'

great idea!

Screenshots would do well. Please

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm 0.1
 

this is pretty cool. Thanks. Perhaps you could put in a little math in there. THere was an app on android which you had to do some simple math to turn off the alarm.

+1 for the solve a little puzzle idea. A small popup with the message "Please don't throw me against the wall, i was forced to do it :( " would be helpful too.

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

A few changes in 0.2:
* Repeat sound file
* Added test button to preferences

I think I'll be adding some kind of puzzle next time, thanks for all the suggestions. :)

This is a really great app. Does anyone know any way of installing it on PR 1.1? It's ages I want to install this but it seems it needs the PR 1.2 and I can't upgrade for now.

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

I've uploaded 0.3 to extras-devel:
* Added snooze button; duration and number of times it can be used are configurable
* For consistent volume, alarm now uses same method as the builtin alarm clock;
To set the sound file, tap status area -> Clock & Alams -> Menu -> Alarm Settings -> Alarm Tone
* Use daemon to start alarm (window can be closed after activating alarm; alarm can't be killed from UI)
* Alarm now activates display

Wow! This app is definitely going to create some Angry Wives. Either they'll retaliate with the Android version, or create an alternative to the Angry Birds game.

cpuvermacher:

i must praise you abit. wonderfull small app, which should been in n900 for first place. speaking the truth, these kind of small innovations in normal apps allready in nokia-phones are just the things people need. new kinda approaches to normal actions, like this daily alarm-gizmo.

top notch work! I just wish nokia had these kinda fast and clever innovations in the future. they have a long way to learn AGAIN and be on the top of all manufacturers 'n' developers.

:)

thanks for this app!
